I met this girl in a Birmingham taxi I got it first, but she slipped in before me Just as I was telling her, hey this is mine She already told the cab driver where to go
Me I always show respect for the ladies I sat back and let her have it her way So good lord sees me through darkness and light I tell you what I remembered from that night
I'm hungry, do you fancy a little something to eat? I can't go on forever on Cognac and weed But she was already on the way down in the seat I tried to stop her, or maybe I didn't
So there I was in a strange situation The chauffeur said I can drop you off at the station I said no man, no don't I tell you when to stop keep your eyes on the road
